Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If they do really want to know, they could just copy the text into a standard content box. It'll tell you for that content if it's good/bad etc.

This is fantastic - Thank you!

We've experienced this issue in the past. Uninstalling the toolbar and reinstalling seemed to fix the problem for us. Otherwise, Kristina provided very detailed and helpful instructions that I am sure will help solve your problem!

I would say yes. Those sites are still authority sites, they are just in the software niche. So if you are in software I would think they would be beneficial.

Oh, man! Not this: Google Business and that the reviews "may" return once the bug is worked out. It has been 4 years since Google's last major review fiasco. Hope this doesn't turn into round 2. Thanks for mentioning, David, and sorry Google Business Manager is giving you a headache.

thanks a lot, My team will be working on this and lets hope we do well.

Tnks a lot!!

Thank you Oleg for confirming. I think a lot of people should be aware of this as well! Thank you again.

Everett, you've been incredibly helpful - thank you!

Thanks for your help. We reduced our markup considerably down to the review markup as you suggested.

You need to think about the end-user. Especially the mobile end-user I would personally get rid of the drop downs make part of your navigation go to its own page which then holds the URLs for that category. Drop downs are hit or miss. You don't want a menu that's too complex for the end-user there the person you have to think about. Google has relaxed its rules but thinks about large websites that have very simple menus. Look at Moz.com for instance. It is doing exactly what should be done for menus Put the important stuff at the beginning. Avoid drop down menus, avoid filling the entire side of every page with the same static links. You have to think of the way Google crawls a website and your crawl budget. Where Google is crawling the same URLs over and over again. Googlebot will stop crawling your site earlier if it has to crawl the same URLs or than once. ( unless you are a Fortune 500 brand) On your site using a mobile device you should place your navigation at the top of your page, not in the middle it's very confusing on mobile. See: http://www.responsinator.com/?url=www.familychristiandoors.com%2F You can use this tool to test mobile navigation http://www.responsinator.com/ Examples of very large sites with excellent navigation. https://pantheon.io/ http://www.ipgbook.com/ Example of well-made large menus https://www.admiretheweb.com/articles/20-responsive-mobile-navigation-inspiration/ https://www.usertesting.com/blog/2014/06/17/the-navigation-treasure-trove-37-menu-usability-resources/ https://www.orbitmedia.com/blog/website-navigation/ http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/main-website-navigation-ht  Reference content http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/optimize-website-navigation/ http://searchengineland.com/mega-menus-seo-228827 https://blog.kissmetrics.com/common-website-navigation-mistakes/ https://moz.com/blog/301-redirection-rules-for-seo https://youtu.be/QHG6BkmzDEM https://moz.com/community/q/is-a-mega-menu-with-over-300-links-in-it-hurting-my-rankings ** Crawl budget reference** https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/optimize-crawl-budget-tips-examples/ https://moz.com/community/q/crawl-budget https://www.deepcrawl.com/case-studies/elephate-fixing-deep-indexation-issues/ I hope this helps, Tom rumble-mobile.jpg

Of course I  The anchor text matters. but at the same time is a lot more money to get an enterprise bitlly account and I would not use  bitlly   for everything. I would use regular redirects

Hi Tim, I am happy I could be of help. I ran into a similar issue and that was the fix it was good timing. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. All the best, Tom

In a perfect world if we could control all the links that link to our site we would have them link to the new URLs. However what I was trying to illustrate is that when you change your URL there is a method of making sure that the old directly which are going to be pointing to your older  URL structure  Wilburn point to your new URL  structure  via 301 redirect. Considering you are changing the URLs with links  e.g  example.com/old must 301 redirect to example.com/new

As Thomas said, 50k is the max but you can also have an index file with multiple sitemaps within it so you can have lots more if needed. A couple of things I would add. Manual crawling is fine but remember, that also means that pages that can't be crawled will be excluded from the sitemap which defeats the purpose of the sitemap As for why the indexation levels are so low, the first thing I would check is if everything in the sitemap is a 200 response. Make sure there aren't any redirects or 404s otherwise Google may decide not to trust the sitemap. I hope this helps

Deepcrawl, Search Console Integration, Agile development platform, integrated databases for speed, a great technical roadmap including things like Content ROI and Page level recommendations all help to make Conductor a hands-down winner. I have used both platforms. Overlapped BE & Searchlight for about a year. Conductor is easier to work with, more intuitive, takes you faster from the eye of the eagle to the eye of the ant, and has amazing, beyond excellent customer service and support. If you truly want to be efficient I would recommend you give Searchlight a long, hard look. best regards, Josepf

Google search console Index Status report Google Webmaster tools tell you in the https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2642366?hl=en if you want to know without a doubt you have to connect Google Analytics to Deepcrawl it will say exactly how many URLs are in the index. https://www.deepcrawl.com https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/how-to-measure-indexed-pages-more-accurately/ https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/how-can-non-indexable-pages-receive-google-organic-traffic/ http://www.stateofdigital.com/40-deepcrawl-tweaks/ Now that Google Analytics can be added to screaming frog you can do something very similar. https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/ https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/user-guide/general/#crawling https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/faq/ https://moz.com/community/q/how-to-determine-which-pages-are-not-indexed I Hope this helps, Tom

Bernadette said it well. It won't necessarily hurt you, but user experience is very important. It's helpful to see unique information about each page in the meta when a user searches for something; that way, they know to click on your page for their search. Also, it's a great best practice to give every page a unique meta description and title no matter what.

Wishing you good luck! Spammers really give me the blues.
